Is there a chance Ivory would let you boot their computers (assuming they
have an assembled computer with one of these motherboards) with a live
CD?
I already asked, they would not.

Don't be quick to curse: you may have made the right assumption before.
It's a Lego. If they need to order components (even from their own
warehouse) and assemble the computer for every customer to test that's a
significant effort for a very uncertain sale (from their prospective) to
9presumably) a walk-in customer with no relationship. The live CD trick is
reasonable if there is a brand - or otherwise standard - computer on the
shelf. Laptops are usually like that...
It's fair if they have none on the shelf. But if they have one built and
connected to a monitor and keyboard, and still won't let you boot from a
live CD, I would still curse (in my mind, not out loud).
Although to be fair I suppose if they let any yahoo who walked in with a
CD and said "let me just try this!" they could be up to their ears in
various malware, so perhaps I shouldn't curse them at all.
